I remember this night so well! A man doing his job as the professional he was , killed by a coward! The individuals with this coward were cowards also. They all disgraced the town we were all born in. Brought disgrace to their families not to mention themselves!
Thank you Arnold for the example you always portrayed of bravery and honor! For your love of our wildlife and desire for it to be shared with the youth that have followed us!
All honor to you and your family. Deepest respect always!
